What is Strategy Chain?

The Premise

1. Study the best.
2. Link the strategies.
3. Clone what works.

Strategy Chain examines high-performing individuals, teams, and companies to find strategic themes with broad uses. Some favorite rabbit-holes include investing, grappling, business, combat, entrepreneurship, and athletics. Strategy Chain is all about high-stakes games that rely on strategy.

But we don't stop with the big picture.

Why?

Because on paper, goals like losing weight, investing well, and getting a better job all seem so easy! But tons of daily friction points keep us stuck. On the podcast and the blog, we attack the common trip-ups that stop us from reaching our goals by using tried-and-true strategies from all-time greats in a variety of different disciplines.

In the spirit of Mohnish Pabrai, we clone ideas that work and use them for ourselves.

Alex, also known as “The Science of Hitting Investing” on Gurufocus and @TSOH_Investing on Twitter, is an investor at an RIA and a prolific investing writer. I’ve really enjoyed his articles, so I was really excited to talk to him. And the conversation didn’t disappoint. During the interview, we talk about structuring a process to maximize your chance of finding good investment candidates, trying to reconstruct management dashboards as a way to understand investments, and the different parts of the value investing spectrum.

This episode is an amazing case study on founder-market fit. As Mr. T says, “I pity the fool” who competes with Max and Patrick at relationship building—they clearly live and breathe the opportunity to form genuine connections with people.

Beyond founder-market fit, Max and Patrick also make a connection to the 8th wonder of the world, which value investing disciples know is compounding. They don’t do any paid marketing, but they can almost predict the amount of inbound referrals they’ll get on any given month, and it’s all because of their focus on white-glove customer service for everyone they meet.

STUDY THE BEST.

About the Host

Hi—My Name is Michael Roberson

In 2019, I left finance to pursue my passion: spreading useful lessons from incredible people. Now my job is to study high-stakes games and to chain together the strategic themes that unite the best of the best.

Before launching Strategy Chain, I spent 5 years working on Wall Street. Most recently, I worked as an Associate at two buy-side leveraged credit platforms and as an Associate at an advisory boutique that served venture-capital-backed technology start-ups. I met and worked with a ton of awesome people. The process was difficult, but I learned an incredible amount about finance and about myself, and I enjoyed the journey.

Before working on Wall Street, I graduated from New York University, where I majored in Finance at the Stern School of Business. I also walked on to NYU’s NCAA Division III wrestling team, where I enjoyed regular beat-downs from my teammates, coaches, and opponents until my Junior year. I’m grateful for the experience. I wouldn’t change a thing!
